That's what I thought you'd say.  8-(

Yes.  I was hoping that these omniORBpy threads would always be
created by Python code.  As it turns out, I can use omniORBpy's own
hooking system so it doesn't matter in this case.

That's a good idea - whether or not we can work around the problem in
the omniORBpy case, I think a way to set the trace function for all
threads would be useful.  Whether I have the time is another matter...
